Skyrocketing electricity costs, skyrocketing PC component costs (as if you can even buy some of them anymore), since everything has cold in it these days, everything is now more expensive, draining local water to unusability, an excuse for massive layoffs across the industry, all for the biggest tech bubble circlejerk in history continuing to inflate in the hopes this tech will someday do what they claim it does

Sounds like it already did.
